Steps:
- Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in small pot or saucepan. Remove the plastic or paper band from the bundle of noodles and add the uncooked soba to the boiling water, stirring occasionally with a fork or chopsticks to keep the noodles from sticking to each other. Boil on medium to medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes. Drain noodles into a strainer over the sink, then run cold water over noodles to prevent further cooking. Shake strainer to get as much water as possible off the noodles. If you have sesame oil, drizzle a small amount over the noodles to keep them from sticking and to add a toasty nutty flavor and use your fork or chopsticks to stir a little to distribute the oil. Set aside.
- In the same emptied small pot or saucepan, heat vegetable broth over high heat to boiling. Lower heat to medium-low.
- If you're not using egg, skip over to the next step. If you're using egg, crack the egg into the broth and allow to cook at a low boil. To keep the egg yolk intact, don't agitate the egg and keep soup at a low simmer until egg is firm. You can also use your fork or chopsticks to poke the yolk or stir the egg around in the broth if you want an egg-drop style soup. Cook just long enough for the egg whites and yolk to be cooked.
- If you're not using tofu, skip over to the next step. If you're using tofu, cut it up into small to medium cubes and add to the broth and bring to a boil.
- Add up to 1/3 cup vegetables to the broth, depending on how much you want in your meal. Once it boils again, reduce heat to simmering for a few minutes. You basically want to heat it long enough so that the vegetables are not frozen. When it's done, turn off the heat.
- Stir in soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste. Put the soba into a big noodle bowl. If you have green onion, chop and use the green parts only and sprinkle on top of the noodles. Pour the soup and its contents over your noodles. Sprinkle the ground sesame seeds on top and enjoy while it's hot!

Steps:
- Remove any tough ends or hard outer husks of lemongrass, cut into 2-inch pieces, and smash with the side of a knife. Tie lemongrass in a loose bundle with cheesecloth.
- Rinse chicken and place in a medium soup pot. Add 6 cups cold water to cover chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and skim the surface thoroughly of any impurities that rise.
- Lower the heat and add carrot, onion, garlic, ginger, and the lemongrass bundle. Adjust heat so water barely bubbles. Cover and poach chicken for 25 minutes. Lift chicken out of the pot and transfer to a plate. When it's cool enough to handle, pull meat off the bones and shred the meat into large pieces. Set aside.
- Add soy sauce to broth and return to a boil. Add noodles, scallions, shiitakes, and bok choy; cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until noodles are tender. Add chicken and heat through. Discard lemongrass bundle. Stir in the cilantro or basil before serving.

COLD SOBA NOODLES WITH DIPPING SAUCE
In Japan, where it gets plenty hot in the summer, cold soba noodles, served with a dipping sauce, are a common snack or light meal. Soba are brown noodles, made from wheat and buckwheat, and the sauce is based on dashi, the omnipresent Japanese stock. You would recognize the smell of dashi in an instant, even if you have never knowingly eaten it. It's a brilliant concoction based on kelp, a seaweed and dried bonito flakes. It is also among the fastest and easiest stocks you can make, and its two main ingredients - which you can buy in any store specializing in Asian foods - keep indefinitely in your pantry. I would encourage you to try making it, though you can also use chicken stock (or instant dashi, which is sold in the same stores).

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Cook noodles until tender but not mushy. Drain, and quickly rinse under cold running water until cold. Drain well.
- Combine dashi or stock, soy sauce and mirin. Taste, and add a little more soy if the flavor is not strong enough. Serve noodles with garnishes, with sauce on side for dipping (or spooning over).

SOBA NOODLE SOUP
A bowl of soba is a beautiful, exotic and delicious centerpiece for a Japanese meal: the not-too-soft, nutty buckwheat noodles sitting in a mahogany broth - dashi - that's as clear and glossy as beef consommé, not only salty and umami-complex but sweet as well. My favorite variety, tamago toji, is egg-topped. When it's made right, the egg is almost foamy, soft-scrambled and tender, deliciously flavored by the dashi, a bit of which it absorbs.

Steps:
- Heat the oven (or a toaster oven) to 300. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In another large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil; stir in the bonito flakes, turn off the heat and steep for 10 minutes, no more. Strain into a large bowl; discard the flakes.
- Put the soy sauce, mirin, sugar and a pinch of salt in the pot you used to make the broth; bring to a boil. Let it boil for a minute, then add the bonito stock; bring it back to a boil, and transfer 6 cups to a separate pot and keep hot. (This will be the broth for the soup; what remains is for cooking the eggs.) Toast the nori in the oven until slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Cut into quarters and set aside. Crack the eggs into a bowl or a large measuring cup with a spout and beat until frothy.
- Cook the noodles in the boiling water until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes, then drain, quickly rinse under cold running water and drain again. Put a portion of noodles into each of four soup bowls. Using a circular pouring motion, slowly stream the eggs, 1/3 at a time, into the smaller amount of boiling broth; as the first third sets, add the second; as the second sets, add the third, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit for a minute. In the meantime ladle the stock (the one without the eggs in it) over the noodles. Use a slotted spoon to scoop a portion of the egg into each bowl, garnish with the nori and scallions and serve.

- While water is heating, sear the tofu or chicken – heat oil over medium high heat, in a skillet. When oil is hot, add a generous 4 finger pinch of salt and pepper to the oil. Give a stir. The pepper will smell fragrant. Carefully add the tofu (or chicken), to the hot oil, letting it get golden brown, turning gently with a metal spatula, until golden. You may need to turn the heat down to med. (This simple preparation really enhances the texture and flavor, but to lower the fat, you could add tofu to the soup, without searing it.) Once tofu is brown, blot and set aside. (You can brown the mushrooms the same way, or add them directly to the broth.)
- Once stock comes to a simmer, add hondashi and miso, and stir until dissolved. Add kale, mushrooms, vegetables and soba noodles, keeping at a low simmer, with pot uncovered. Stir occasionally. Soba noodles will be cooked in 4-5 minutes and veggies lightly wilted.
- Add scallions, and a little squirt of Sriracha, or more to taste. Add a teaspoon of toasted sesame oil. Now taste for salt. If you don’t use the sriracha sauce, you may need just a little squeeze of lemon or lime juice.
